Ziplot Vehicles are actually great toy, even though they aren't regular scaled. they have spring-loaded, one-push-transform gimmick. see the movie vol.4, about 1:40~.

and these vehicles are roughly same scale as Diaclone. so you can play with the Inchmen, fyi.

 

I'm just gonna post this, Beast Saga Translations. I've been working on translating the Beast Saga Cards, they aren't good translations but there is a bunch of information about the characters.

 

I'm still of the opinion that the new vehicles are kinda bland compared to the old school Battle Beast vehicles.

 

^They are kind of wonky. I'm more interested in the miniature Beast Saga figs they come with.

I don't know if it's just HLJ, but second waves listed as Beast Fight. Is that supposed to be a direst tie in with the anime? I haven't really been following up on it.

I am liking the vinyl figures though. Sort of a throw back to the original Battle Beasts. Really hoping they make more then just the leaders of the factions. Kind of wanting a Hamster, Mantaray and Turtle.

 

i hope they make more of the vehicle playsets. they could do some neat stuff with those.

 

Wow, the Sofubi's are huge. I had no idea they would be that big.

 

You took the words right out of my mouth! Ersico, are they hollow or solid? Those guys are begging for some custom jointing.

 

Could someone tell me what this is and why it's so much more expensive than from US retailers?

Reviews for Wave 1, 2 and 3 are all up. I even did a historical look back to Battle Beast designs and some translating.

Got my first figures last week, the regular lion and two blind packs. I was really hoping for the clear lion, but I got... two of the same bird. Bleh. They're pretty neat though, if I had the spare cash I could totally seeing going full on into the line.

 

i have a spare clear gator and a clear spare gorilla if anyone is interested

 

Guys, how's the quality of the figures? Are the materials used durable and not rubbery?

 

Very durable rubber!

 

Yeah, they ARE rubbery. But solid. Do you have any of the classic Battle Beasts? They essentially feel like they're made of the same stuff.

Their weapons, though, are very gummy rubber. A bit too soft. But at least no one is poking out an eye with them.

 

Thanks for the replies guys! Some more further questions:

1. Is there a website where I can see pictures and reviews of the figures?
2. Are there any vehicles or playsets for this line like the original line did?

 

Though not in English, you can see a ton of photos for different Beast Saga figures here: ¥Ó¡¼¥¹¥È¥µ¡¼¥¬ - ¾ëÀ¾¥É¥ó¥¬¥ë¥É¥ó

 

As of right now no on the playsets and vehicles for the normal figures.

Takara seems to be going the micro figure route on the vehicles though. I think two have been released so far with 4? more on the way. Here's a review of one of the vehicles released:

Thanks! Going through the website soon! Animals + armors = pretty cool toyline for me! Brings back memories of Battle Beasts for me!  

Thanks for the link! Pretty disappointed there's no playsets nor vehicles for this current line. I recall the original line had some pretty funky looking sets like a red eagle and a deer's head?

I think I will get the lion first and be selective of my purchases!
